00:00Welcome to Media Morning, the first of this edition.
00:25The House of Representatives and the High Council of the Libyan State
00:30agreed on Wednesday to put an agreement on the preliminary phase of the electoral campaigns.
00:41The Israeli army announced on Thursday morning that it had hit the ports and energy infrastructure of the Houthi rebels in Yemen
00:51after the shooting of a Houthi missile intercepted by Israel.
00:59The international organization Human Rights Watch estimates in a report published today
01:04that Israel is committing acts of genocide by restricting access to water for the Palestinians in Gaza.
01:12Following the mediation of His Majesty King Mohammed VI,
01:21His Excellency Mr. Ibrahim Traoré, President of the Republic of Burkina Faso,
01:27responded favorably to his request for the release of four French refugees held in Ouagadougou since December 2023.
01:37This is indicated by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the African Cooperation and Moroccans living abroad.
01:43This humanitarian act has been made possible thanks to the excellence of relations
01:47which links His Majesty King Mohammed VI to President Traoré and to good relations.
01:52Uniting the Kingdom of Morocco and the Republic of Burkina Faso, the ministry said in a statement.
02:00The House of Representatives and the High Council of the Libyan State
02:05agreed on Wednesday in Bosnia-Herzegovina an agreement on the preliminary phase of the electoral campaigns.
02:11This agreement, which has been read, was given by Sarah Souyeh of the House of Representatives
02:16in the name of the two parties at the end of the first day of the consultative meeting between the members of the two institutions,
02:22which envisages the restructuring of executive power in accordance with Article 4 of the Inter-Libyan Political Agreement
02:28signed in 2015 by Resolution 2259 of the United Nations Security Council
02:34in order to organize elections in conformity with electoral laws.
02:38The two parties also agreed on the establishment of a joint working committee
02:43in charge of appointing a new executive power
02:46in the terms of communication with the UN mission as well as with the various regional and international parties.
02:59In the news, the Israeli army announced this Thursday morning
03:03that it had hit ports and the energy infrastructure of the Houthi rebels in Yemen
03:08after the shooting of a Houthi missile intercepted by Israel.
03:13For its part, Al-Masiela reported that the Israeli army's fighters hit military targets
03:18belonging to the Houthi regime on the west coast and in the back country of Yemen.
03:24The Israeli army indicated in a statement its strikes on the targets of the ports
03:29as well as the energy infrastructure of the capital Sana'a,
03:33which the Houthis use to support the Israeli army.
03:38The Houthi military operations have been added.
03:41The army denounced the repeated attacks of the Houthis against Israel
03:45by means of drones and missiles on the ground.
03:48The spokesman for the army, Daniel Aghari,
03:51said that Israel will not hesitate to act to defend itself
03:55and defend its citizens from Houthi attacks.
04:00International organization Human Rights Watch estimates
04:04in a report published this Thursday
04:07that Israel is committing acts of genocide
04:10by restricting access to water for Palestinians in Gaza
04:14since the beginning of the war between Israel and Hamas more than a year ago.
04:19The Israeli authorities have deliberately created living conditions
04:23for Palestinians in Gaza,
04:25aiming to cause the destruction of part of the population of Gaza
04:29by intentionally depriving Palestinian civilians of adequate access to water,
04:34which has probably caused thousands of deaths,
04:37writes Human Rights Watch in a statement accompanied by its investigation.
04:42Since the beginning of the war in 2023,
04:45Israel has been accused several times of committing a genocide in Gaza
04:49by various organizations,
04:51or even in front of international justice.
04:57In the rest of the news,
04:59the French government declared Wednesday
05:01the state of exceptional natural calamity in Mayotte,
05:05archipelago of the Indian Ocean,
05:07devastated by the Shido cyclone,
05:09where the rescues continue to flow
05:11and where French President Emmanuel Macron is expected this Thursday.
05:14This is the first time that this cyclone has been activated
05:18This is the first time that this new device has been activated,
05:22especially planned for the overseas territories.
05:26According to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs,
05:29it will ensure faster and more effective management of the crisis
05:34and facilitate the implementation of emergency measures
05:38after the deadly cyclone passed
05:40in the poorest department of France
05:42where a third of the population lives in precarious housing.
05:46After an initial period of one month,
05:48the device can be renewed every two months
05:50and allows greater reactivity to local and national authorities,
05:54while mitigating some administrative procedures,
05:58indicated by the Ministry in a statement.
06:00According to a provisional assessment of the Ministry of the Interior,
06:03the Shido cyclone killed 31 people and injured 1,373.
06:10For the first time, Morocco welcomes simultaneously
06:14three key meetings of the International Political Organization,
06:19the International Socialist,
06:21the African Committee,
06:23the International Socialist of Women
06:25and the Council of the International Socialist
06:28of important personalities of the social sphere
06:31came to Rabat to debate, exchange and imagine
06:36a better, sustainable and equitable future.
06:42More details with Alaa Benani.
06:47The seat of the USFP in Rabat welcomed on Tuesday
06:50the first meeting of the African Committee of the International Socialist,
06:54a meeting that marked the start of the work
06:57of three key events of the International Socialist,
07:00among the important themes discussed,
07:03the question of climate change and its effects on the situation of women.
07:07There is also what is called resilience and adaptation.
07:12Resilience, when a situation like this arises,
07:16you have to do everything to continue to live as before.
07:22And it is women who propose solutions
07:26in the fight against floods,
07:34but also to find what is often needed
07:38so that the children, so that the family can live,
07:41because it is necessary to live as soon as everything has been destroyed
07:44and there are no more houses.
07:46This meeting also focuses on what governments should do
07:49to protect women from the effects of climate change
07:53and this by integrating, for example,
07:55the gender perspective in climate policies,
07:58the strengthening of women's economic autonomy,
08:01the improvement of access to essential services
08:04and the promotion of inclusive governance.
08:12Socialist women around the world are concerned
08:15about the effects of climate change.
08:17Every time there is a natural disaster,
08:19women are the first victims.
08:21And this is because of their financial instability,
08:24their professional instability,
08:26and their family instability.
08:28And so governments must adopt policies
08:30that take climate change into account
08:33while ensuring women a dignified and safe life.
08:44By 2050, projections indicate
08:47that up to 236 million women and girls
08:50could be affected by food insecurity
08:53because of the effects of climate change.
08:55In a pessimistic climate scenario,
08:58it is estimated that 158 million women and girls
09:01could fall into poverty
09:03because of the effects of climate change,
09:05exacerbating the risk of food insecurity.
09:10Every life counts.
09:12Say no to irregular migration.
09:15This is the theme of the 2024 edition
09:17of the International Migrant Day in Ivory Coast.
09:20The day was celebrated with a re-engagement
09:23of the government to put everything in place
09:26to fight against the harmful effects
09:29of migration in Maxos, Suhubi and Ferdinand.
09:35The International Migrant Day,
09:37a celebration that strongly reminds us
09:39that the path remains long, demanding,
09:41and that global mobilization and coordination
09:44is part of the best that migration can offer
09:47while protecting human dignity.
09:50In Ivory Coast, the authorities wanted
09:52this celebration to be more sober,
09:54but effective, on the basis of evidence
09:56to better define the perspectives.
09:58All the devices are present.
10:02The Ministry of Youth has two.
10:06Both at the level of training
10:08by the School of Second Chance
10:10with the Ministry of Professional Training,
10:13as well as at the level of youth activities.
10:16We ask you to test this device
10:20put in place by the government.
10:23The Gorado is here, it is at home.
10:27For the celebration of the 2024 edition
10:29of the International Migrant Day,
10:31the technical and financial partners
10:33of the Ivorian government have reiterated
10:35their willingness to support public policies
10:38to improve the governance of migration
10:41and to guarantee the respect of fundamental rights
10:44and to protect migrant people.
10:47In the last ten years, more than 50,000 migrants
10:49have lost their lives on migratory routes
10:51around the world.
10:53These figures are a call for action
10:55to protect the most vulnerable
10:57and eradicate illicit trafficking of migrants,
11:00human trafficking.
11:02I would like to mention the fundamental role
11:04of the Reintegration of Migrant Persons
11:06of Return to Côte d'Ivoire project
11:08and the fight against trafficking
11:10in the European Union.
11:12It aims to improve the support
11:14and reintegration of migrants
11:16while reinforcing the struggle
11:18against trafficking
11:20and regular migration
11:22through technical support
11:24to national authorities.
11:26The European Union will continue
11:28to work hand in hand
11:30with the Ivorian Côte d'Ivoire
11:32and all its partners
11:34to strengthen national capacities
11:36and improve the protection
11:38of migrants in Côte d'Ivoire.
11:40Côte d'Ivoire constitutes
11:42about 3.6% of the world's population.
11:44These figures show how much
11:46migration is a global reality
11:48that calls for global responses.
11:52And right now,
11:54we have the guest
11:56of the major newspaper
11:58of Média1 Morning.
12:00The head of NATO
12:02met on Wednesday
12:04in Brussels.
12:06The Ukrainian President
12:08Volodymyr Zelensky
12:10and the leaders of the main
12:12European powers
12:14to talk about the war
12:16in Ukraine
12:18a few weeks after
12:20Donald Trump's return
12:22to the White House.
12:24We are live with
12:26Mr. Henri Nzouzi,
12:28political analyst.
12:30Hello Henri Nzouzi,
12:32thank you for accepting our invitation.
12:36Mr. Nzouzi,
12:38what can we expect
12:40from this summit?
12:42Is it a symbolic summit
12:44or do we really expect
12:46concrete progress
12:48on the Russo-Ukrainian
12:50conflict?
12:52Listen,
12:54some would be tempted
12:56to say that it is
12:58an additional summit,
13:00but it is still
13:02a symbolic summit
13:04but it is still
13:06useful to meet
13:08to talk, to evaluate
13:10the situation and to raise
13:12the most important issues
13:14at a time when
13:16the situation is evolving
13:18at an alarming rate.
13:20I recall that all this is happening
13:22in a context where
13:24the eyes are on Washington
13:26since on January 20th,
13:28Donald Trump will be appointed
13:30as President of the United States.
13:32This means that
13:34there are initiatives
13:36that are perhaps perceived
13:38as maneuvers allowing
13:40certain actors to
13:42take advantage of
13:44the situation on the ground
13:46in order to see how
13:48the Trump administration will react.
13:50However, I think
13:52it is important at the moment
13:54to be able, at least
13:56at the European level,
13:58to try to tighten the ranks
14:00facing an America
14:02that intends
14:04to put everyone
14:06in front of their responsibilities
14:08after 75 years
14:10of, I would say,
14:12inherited security
14:14since the creation
14:16of NATO in 1949.
14:18For Volodymyr Zelensky,
14:20of course,
14:22this is an important moment
14:24because it is about assessing
14:26the Western capabilities
14:28of NATO to continue
14:30to support it despite
14:32internal debates
14:34taking place in different countries.
14:36Last week,
14:38NATO Secretary-General
14:40painted a dark picture
14:42to remind NATO countries
14:44to spend much more
14:46for their defense
14:48against the Russian threat.
14:50Is this alarmist speech justified?
14:52Yes, it is simply justified
14:54since I just mentioned it.
14:56NATO has decided
14:58to re-focus itself
15:00at the national level
15:02and to spend much less
15:04than what most of the Allies
15:06have actually done
15:08during this long period.
15:10It is really a challenge
15:12for the Europeans
15:14to be able to lay the foundations
15:16of what could in the end
15:18look like a common
15:20but also autonomous
15:22European defense
15:24that has only lasted too long.
15:26But the exercise has its limits
15:28because the interests of some
15:30are embedded in those of others.
15:32It is a long process
15:34but it is true that
15:36Donald Trump provoked
15:38a real electric shock
15:40by recalling the need for the Europeans
15:42to organize themselves.
15:44Let me remind you that Ukraine
15:46is less than two hours from Paris by plane.
15:48This means that any sudden degradation
15:50of the situation in this country
15:52will inevitably have disastrous consequences
15:54for the rest of the European countries.
15:56Donald Trump assured
15:58a company
16:00that he was capable
16:02of negotiating
16:04an end to this war in 24 hours.
16:06Is the path to peace
16:08still possible
16:10between Ukraine
16:12and Russia?
16:14I would say
16:16that it is quite possible
16:18but once again the evolution
16:20of the situation
16:22can encourage Moscow
16:24to slow down.
16:26Because at the moment
16:28Moscow intends to push
16:30its advantage to perhaps
16:32limit Ukraine's
16:34negotiations to a minimum.
16:36That is to say that
16:38the renunciation of
16:40practically 20 to 25%
16:42of the Ukrainian territory
16:44would be in balance
16:46with Ukraine,
16:48but you have to understand things.
16:50This conflict is entering its third year.
16:52The public opinion
16:54of Ukraine is tired.
16:56There are a lot of victims.
16:58The collateral damage
17:00on the energy level in Europe
17:02from oil and gas
17:04has a strong impact on growth
17:06and is causing a number of
17:08efforts that have been consented to so far.
17:10I think that the moment of truth
17:12will come after
17:14the 20th of January.
17:16Intentional statements
17:18or parental statements
17:20like the one that
17:22Pope quoted
17:24saying that he could
17:26regulate the 1st in 24 hours,
17:28everyone knows very well
17:30that this is not very serious
17:32and that in reality it will take time.
17:34What is also important
17:36is to get into the loop
17:38at the time of the negotiations
17:40countries that can have
17:42a small influence on Russia.
17:44If they both belong to the same bloc,
17:46the BRICS,
17:48this could give
17:50a much more global dimension
17:52to the perspective of negotiations.
17:54Since his victory
17:56at the US presidential election,
17:58the shadow of Donald Trump
18:00weighs on the shoulders
18:02of NATO.
18:04We wonder
18:06what will happen to Ukraine
18:08now that Donald Trump
18:10is back at the White House
18:12and what is the perspective
18:14of his adhesion to NATO?
18:16It is too early
18:18to say,
18:20even if there are countries
18:22that openly complain
18:24about Ukraine joining NATO.
18:26But recent history shows
18:28that in reality,
18:30no country at war
18:32was able to ensure
18:34its integration into NATO.
18:36Because an integration
18:38in these conditions
18:40creates potential belligerents
18:42and therefore legitimate targets
18:44for Russia.
18:46Which, you can imagine,
18:48poses a real problem.
18:50At least at the level of Western public opinion
18:52that aspires to peace,
18:54to a return to normalisation
18:56in Ukraine,
18:58for a situation that has
19:00really only lasted too long.
19:02I would say that on this matter,
19:04European and Western leaders
19:06will have to take into account
19:08their public opinion.
19:10Because these are decisions
19:12that will involve
19:14a whole generation
19:16of people
19:18who today obviously fear
19:20that Russia will
19:22execute these threats.
19:24And these threats are more and more
19:26prevalent, we have seen it since
19:28the last Russian debate in Syria.
19:32Igor Kirillov,
19:34the head of the Russian army,
19:36was killed on Tuesday
19:38in an explosion
19:40in the south-east of Moscow.
19:42An attack was claimed
19:44by Ukraine.
19:46According to you,
19:48what can be
19:50the consequences
19:52of this attack?
19:54The first consequence, of course,
19:56is that Russia will retaliate.
19:58Russia also,
20:00we realize, of course,
20:02that it remains vulnerable
20:04despite its supposed
20:06military power.
20:08Today, the most
20:10well-informed observers agree
20:12that apart from Russia's ability
20:14to hit any target
20:16at a distance with its different
20:18missiles,
20:20at the military level
20:22there are indeed
20:24considerable flaws,
20:26which also justifies
20:28the reinforcement of North Korean troops.
20:30But the assassination of the general
20:32shows to what extent Russia
20:34remains vulnerable.
20:36This is not the first flash of action.
20:38We do not know who is the commander-in-chief,
20:40but Moscow is obviously
20:42targeting Kiev,
20:44which is quite normal in these times
20:46of war, but it shows
20:48that today,
20:50if Ukraine's responsibility
20:52is established, Ukraine
20:54has the ability to strike anywhere,
20:56anytime, in Russia
20:58to weaken
21:00Putin,
21:02and above all, to show
21:04that the invincibility
21:06of the Russian army
21:08is perhaps only a myth.
21:10This is, on the psychological level,
21:12a hard blow
21:14to morale, and this will
21:16obviously lead to a response
21:18of which we do not yet know
21:20the consequences, but of which we can
21:22easily guess that they will be incalculable.
21:24On
21:26the line of France,
21:28Moscow claimed
21:30this Wednesday
21:32the capture of two new
21:34locations in eastern Ukraine.
21:36Russia
21:38claims to have taken 4,500
21:40kilometers of Ukrainian
21:42territory this year.
21:44Mr Zuzi,
21:46how do you explain
21:48these Russian advances,
21:50despite the multiple
21:52Western military aid?
21:54Obviously,
21:56we must bear in mind
21:58that most of the Western aid
22:00announced must be
22:02carried out in time.
22:04It is not because we say that we are going to
22:06unlock the time, or that we are going to provide this,
22:08that it is done in a week or
22:10half a week. It takes a lot of time,
22:12it is a long process. It is this time
22:14that the Russian artillery
22:16takes advantage of to advance.
22:18Earlier, I evoked the fact that Vladimir
22:20Putin actually has no interest
22:22in negotiating for the moment. He would rather
22:24increase his
22:26territorial advantage.
22:28Today, it is more or less 20 to 25%
22:30of Russian territory. It is likely
22:32that Putin's objective
22:34is to
22:36conquer
22:38up to 30%
22:40of the territory. At this point,
22:42it will be very difficult for Ukraine
22:44to continue to resist.
22:46Maybe at this point,
22:48even the West, not to mention the Americans,
22:50could be tempted
22:52to simply invite Ukraine
22:54to give up an important part
22:56of its territory in exchange
22:58for peace, in exchange for a certain number
23:00of modalities that could
23:02secure them.
23:04We can see very well that this war
23:06is truly asymmetric.
23:08Each spectacular action
23:10of Ukraine
23:12eventually on Russian territory
23:14corresponds to an advance
23:16of Russia in the conquest
23:18of certain territories.
23:20We can see very well that there is not really
23:22a cause-and-effect, but this also shows
23:24that after three years
23:26of conflict, Ukraine is truly
23:28exempt and that even the countries
23:30that have decided, that have
23:32reaffirmed their support for Ukraine
23:34today also experience the difficulties
23:36of being able to clear the necessary
23:38financial manoeuvres.
23:40I remind you that all these contributing countries
23:42have their own problems and at some point
23:44these problems will arise with
23:46and will unfortunately be
23:48an opportunity for most of them
23:50to be able to alleviate them
23:52in terms of support to Ukraine.
23:54Mr. Henry Zouzi, we are coming to the end of our section.
23:56Thank you for all these
23:58clarifications. Thank you for answering
24:00our questions. I remind you that you are
24:02a political analyst.
24:04Thank you for having welcomed me.
24:08This is the end of this edition.
24:10Enjoy the rest of the program
